A NEW Brit School will open in the north in a major boost to the region’s access to creative education.
The BPI — the representative voice for UK record labels — plans to open the new specialist creative college in Bradford, West Yorkshire, around 2026-27.
It will allow students aged 16-19 to study performance, production and digital subjects.
The application, titled Brit School North, was inspired by the successful model of the Brit School in Croydon which opened in 1991, is free to attend and counts Raye and Loyle Carner among its alumni.
The Mayor of West Yorkshire Tracy Brabin said: “This is a fantastic win for the north and supports our ambition to ensure opportunities for all, no matter where you’re from or where you live.
“And now, with West Yorkshire becoming the home of Brit School North, more young people can follow in the footsteps of our world-class homegrown artists, from the likes of Mel B and Corinne Bailey Rae to the Kaiser Chiefs.”
